Description

24 1 2727
PHOTO-ELECTRONIC AIR PURIFYING AND DISINFECTING FAN
The present invention relates to a type of 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan.
The aim of this innovative invention is to present a new design for this type of 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan.
This device firstly filters out airborne impurities, bacteria and germs using an activated carbon filter screen. It then utilizes extreme-W light emitted by at least two extreme-W light tubes to destroy the bacteria, germs and mould which pass through the extreme-W light tubes. The level of anions in the air is also boosted by a negative ion generator before being discharged.
The main components of this photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan include: an activated carbon filter screen, an extraction fan, extreme-W light tube(s) and cathodic high-voltage fibres. When air enters the photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan via the extraction fan(s), the impurities, germs and bacteria in the air are filtered out via the activated carbon filter screen. Then the device enters two continuous alternating mode cycles: the first, lasting for 3 to 4 minutes, involves a high voltage cathodic output discharged via carbonized fibres which ionizes the air, which is then expelled by fan(s); the second, lasting for 7 to 10 minutes, involves turning on the extremeW light tube(s) which emit extreme-W light eliminating airborne bacteria, germs and mould as they pass the tube(s). This photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan possesses an air inlet and an air outlet. Three sets of cathodic high-voltage carbonized fibres are located at the air outlet. The extreme-W light tube(s) are secured within the housing close to the air inlet. The extraction fan(s), mounted in the middle of the housing, suck air through the air inlet into the air inlet unit in the system. The air then streams through the activated carbon filter screen prior to exposure to and sterilization of germs, bacteria and mould by extreme-W light emitted by the extreme-W light tube(s). The air is then ionised before being discharged through the air outlet as clean, fresh air, thereby enhancing air quality indoors.
This device may have a rectangular column shape.
A non-limiting embodiment of this invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which: FIG 1 is a side elevation view of a photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan of the present invention; FIG 2is a longitudinal cutaway view of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 3 is a horizontal cutaway view of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 4is a plan view of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 5is an end view of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 6is a side elevation view of the other side of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 7is a downward view of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 8is a bottom view of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG 9is a schematic diagram of the product depicted in FIG 1; FIG lOis a schematic diagram of the product depicted in FIG 1; it shows the structure of the extreme-W light tube assembly bracket; FIG His a schematic diagram of the product depicted in FIG 1; it shows the arrangement of the extraction fans and the way they are installed; FIG 12is a schematic diagram of the product depicted in FIG 1; it shows how the product is installed on the wall; FIG 13 shows how the product is installed horizontally on a surface; and FIG 14 shows how the product is installed vertically on a surface.
The 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan comprises a rectangular-column-shaped housing 1, with a rectangular air draft unit 2 located near the bottom at the back of the housing 1. Located in the front are the extreme-UV light assembly bracket 3 and an air inlet unit 4. After ionization air is expelled via the air draft unit 2.
The detailed structure of the 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and S disinfecting fan is shown in FIG 2. An extreme-W light assembly bracket 3 and at least two air inlet units 4 are located in the front of the housing 1. These air inlet units 4 provide an air intake as well as an anchorage for the secure attachment of the activated carbon filter screen and the dust filter 6 immediately adjacent to it. Two light shields 7 and the extreme-UV light assembly 3 are also fixed to the activated carbon filter screen 5. In the housing 1, there is a combination of at least five extraction fans 8 and an electric motor 9. The three sets of carbonized fibres 10, mounted above and below the air draft unit 2, ionize air when a cathodic high-voltage output is discharged.
Located in the bottom of the housing 1 are a remote electric timer 11, a function indicator light 12, a function selector switch 13, an electronic transducer 14 and a power cable 15.
On the surface of the bottom right side of the housing 1, there are several circular holes. There is also a function selector switch compartment lid 16 and a function selector switch compartment 17. The function selector switch 13 is installed in the function selector switch compartment 17. (The function selector switch 13 controls the operations of the electric motor 9, extraction fans 8, extreme-W light tubes 18 and carbonized fibres 10). Adjacent to the function selector switch 13, there are several circular holes 19, where light-emitting diodes 20 of different colours, which act as function indicators, are mounted.
On the top of the housing 1, a power cable 15 is provided for connection to the mains supply. At the inner front of the housing 1, the extreme-W light assembly bracket 3 is mounted, in which there are at least two extreme-W light tubes 18, two light tube electronic commutators 21, two light tube starters 22 and four light tube holders 23. On top of the electronic commutators 21 and light tube starters 22 is a protective cover 28. The extreme-W light tube assembly bracket or structure 3 comprises air-arresting walls 24 and front and back light shields 7 as well as extreme- W light tubes 18. On dismantling the air inlet unit 4, dust filter 6, activated carbon filter screen 5 and the two light shields 7 at the front, the extreme-W light tubes 18 can easily be replaced.
At the back of the housing 1, there is a wall-mounting bracket 25, where holes 26 are provided for easy mounting. Once the bracket 25 has been mounted onto the wall the housing can be hung onto and secured with two trip bolts 27 (see Figure 12).
Alternatively, shock absorbers 35 can be added onto the side of the housing 1 when it stands on its side (see Figure 14) or on its bottom when it stands flat (see Figure 13), according to the setting where the device is placed.
The extraction fan combination in housing 1 comprises an air deflector 33, a motor bracket 29, an electric motor 9, five extraction fans 8, an extraction fan cover 30, two fan bearings 31 and a bearing bracket 32.
When the 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan is switched on, air containing bacteria and mould is sucked by the extraction fans 8 into the system. Upon being filtered by the activated carbon filter screen 5, the air moves into the extreme-W light tube assembly bracket 3. Air flow is guided by the air-deflecting walls 24 as it enters the housing 1. The extreme-W light tubes 18 are mounted (centrally) between the air-deflecting walls 24, where airborne bacteria, germs and mould are destroyed by the extreme-W light on reaching the air chambers 34. The purified air is then drawn to the light shields 7 and the combination of five extraction fans, which blows the air through the cathodic high-voltage carbonized fibres 10 located above and below the air draft unit 2. The air is ionised and discharged as clean, fresh air through the air draft unit 2, thereby enhancing the quality of air indoors.
The air-deflecting walls 24 are sandwiched between two light shields 7, which prevent extreme-W light emissions from escaping from the housing 1, thus protecting the eyes and skin of the user.
The principles of the electrical circuits of the 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan are: the power supply input reaches the anion-producing circuitry via the function selector switch 13, providing a negative high-voltage output.
The power supply input also passes through a full wave rectifier circuit to supply power to a speed control circuit, which supplies the combination of extraction fans, then passes through an AC circuit, to run the light tube electronic commutator 21, light tube starters 22 and the full wave rectifier circuit of the extreme-W light tubes 18; another circuit passes a DC voltage stabilizing circuit to reach the ioniser circuit and supplies power to the automatic cycle control circuit of the extreme-W light tubes 18 activation circuit, controlling the operations of the ioniser and the extreme-W light tubes 18.
The extreme-W light tubes emit ultraviolet light at the wavelength of 253. 7 nanometres, which has been proven by scientific research to be most effective in eliminating bacteria, germs and mould in the air. An increased level of anions in the air caused by the negative ion generator helps boost the biochemical reactions in our body and reduces hormonal secretions held responsible for depression and fatigue.
The invention therefore serves well in most households, hospitals, residential homes, department stores, cinemas, restaurants, offices, workshops, large conference rooms, shopping malls which are airconditioned, kept cool, dust and heat-proof, theatres, hostels, hotels, conference halls and chiller plants. When installed in a doorway, this 3-in-1 photo-electronic air purifying and disinfecting fan separates indoor air from the outside, thereby providing a convenient means of preventing convection and of combating dust pollution, insect infestation and odorousness. It can also be widely used in industries like electronics, instrumentation, pharmaceutical, food and precision machining. In conclusion, this invention will improve the environments in our homes, hospitals, offices, shops and other places and help to revitalise air quality amidst the constant degradation of our natural environment.
